Hey guys(and gals!),
I absolutely love the look of my bike, from the moment I saw it in a magazine in 2015 I knew it was the bike to have. That doesn't mean, however, that I wouldn't change anything. The naked look leaves the bike a little, well, naked, in terms of crash protection. Along with the awful blinkers, here's a list of things I'd like to add or change in three phases. For your CC:
Phase 1: Protection I don't want to damage my bike right away, and as a relatively new rider, I think it's a good idea to bolt some sh*t on to protect it
Stator/Water Pump protection
I Really like the look of the Yoshimura kit, but the reviews don't hold up as well for them. The Woodcraft ones look okay but they really seem to be the best option, and for cheaper. I may get them powdercoated to match the CP2 engine cover.
Frame Protection
Not sure which I prefer, but I do know I hate the look of broomhandles or triangular pucks on my bike, so a cage seemed the way to go.
Axle Protection
Gilles Tooling does all of yamaha's official billet accessories for the XSR 700, and their axle sliders seem to match well, for a price. The Evotechs are cheapest, and look it. Some have recommended to me to go with the Woodcraft because of ease of service.
Phase 2 : Functional Those blinkers are just really bad on the NA bikes aren't they?
Indicators
Stand
really the only center stand I've found. I'd like a center stand for maintenance and I don't have anywhere to store a bunch of paddocks or lifts.
Phase 3: Aesthetics I'm tryna look good y'all.
So that's my shopping list, let me know if you have any advice, reviews, warnings, or criticism let me know. Also if anyone knows where to get the best prices that would be much appreciated.
